The Deadeyes were in the invasion of Leyte, but his division was split when a bridge was blown up by Japanese. He ended up fighting with an Australian group. They were also on Okinawa. He has incredible stories about how the Australian soldiers. He says that were fearless. I wonder if they will ever get the credit they deserve. My Dad was in the 96th Division.

Kuramoto Sat, 04 Aug 2012 01:03:34 +0000 #comment-814708 Hi Dennis, I am a local national and work on base for the US Navy. Your article is very interesting. I too have interest in the history of the battle which took place in Okinawa. My uncle fought in the war but nobody knows where he died. You mention of a US Army military map with location and road of the battle ground. I was curious if that map is still availble from the Army archives or elsewhere. Okinawa has changed very much and most of the battle grounds are now part of the building foundations. Which base were you stationed on? Kuramoto Hi Dennis,

Some perished as he brought them down but many survived.His clothing was riddled with many holes from knee mortar shrapnel and a spent bullet in his pocket.General James Day was his good friend and they communicated throughout the years afterward.My father didn't speak much about the war and he never held anything against the Japanese or anyone for that matter.After the war he also saved some lives at Pismo Beach Ca. where people got caught in the undertow around the pier. I hope in my lifetime I can be of service and save the precious life of someone in need. My father was a quiet Hero and his name was Martin Lundquist.
